Get your little one on track to perfect penmanship with the Tracing ABC app for your android device. Ideal for children four years and older, the Tracing ABC app has a simple and engaging interface designed to help children print letters, numbers, and various shapes with ease and confidence.
Once your child has mastered his ABC, he can practice over 800 words, consisting of 80% of the elementary school words.
It's as Easy as...
------------------------
Choose among five practice options: capital letters, lower-case letters, numbers, shapes or practicing full words! For the beginners with clumsy little fingers, the Guided Tracing Mode is a good place to start and Free Style Mode offers more of a challenge.
Just Learning
------------------------
The "Easy" tracing mode displays a large, transparent letter on a chalkboard. A bright, green star indicates where your child should begin, followed by a path of fading yellow stars. To properly print the letter, your child will follow the yellow star path, beginning with the brightest, green star. If it's necessary to lift the chalk for a new line, a new bright green star will appear indicating such.
"Easy" makes it impossible to go outside of the lines. It's best for simply familiarizing your child with the letters, and providing positive feedback and encouragement.
I Think I Got It
------------------------
The "Hard" tracing mode offers a more organic writing experience when your child is ready for more of a challenge. While the star path is still there, the chalk line follows the exact path of your child's finger. If your little one gets sloppy, the line will turn red. Each effort is awarded one, two, or three stars. Children may also be encouraged to simply try again.
A is for Alligator
------------------------
After successfully tracing a letter, the overhead screen is pulled down displaying a word and photo of something beginning with that letter. Likewise, children will see a photo which represents the numbers and shapes as well.
Configure It!
------------------------
Want to teach your child writing letters with a different formation? No problem! you can change the default strokes order and direction from the tools menu in game. Once you save the new formation it will automatically replace the default one.

Love this app. Would really like an option of a setting for left handed children so they can do proper stokes for lefties.

Excellent! This is the third tracing game I have tried with my 3.5 year olds. What makes this one so nice is that if your toddler doesn't lift his or her finger or goes outside the lines, it doesn't write and confuse them. They follow the starts in the right direction to trace. It's not too slow like some other apps. It also gives kudos to tell your kid they did it right and then shows and says a word that starts with that letter. My toddler wanted to write the entire alphabet in one sitting her first time trying.

Its ok... Compared to the other English language writing practice apps this may be the best. The stroke order of some letters is just wrong, for instance this app teaches children to begin 'p' with the circle stroke, instead of the stem. There are much better apps like this available for learning to write Japanese hiragana.

Just what I was looking for This app is just what I was hoping to find; a very simple, easy to understand way for my 2.5 year old to start learning how to form his letters. He has trouble following arrows in other apps and gets bored quickly, but it is motivating for him to touch the stars in this one. A great beginner app.

Wrong order of pen strokes This ap uses the wrong order of pen strokes for many of the letters. Not good to confuse the kids.

Good overall Very fun for all 3 of our kids ranging from 3 - 6. I have a few issues with it though. It teaches the children to form the capital B incorrectly. The correct way is to always start at the top left. I would also prefer the words that drop down once completing the letter be words that start with the letter sound that each letter generally makes. For example, it does giraffe for "g" but goat or garbage would be better. Still excellent for fine motor skills!
